Oblique Strategies

Pick an oblique strategy from the online deck. If the first “card” doesn’t make sense, pick another until you get one you want to work with  — but don’t endlessly pick new cards. Get five maximum and pick the one that feels most the interesting and feasible and go with that.

Use the oblique strategy to iterate the design of one of your photoshop typography posters. Interpret the strategy as a prompt with which to develop the field of forms you’ve so far set in your poster. Use your interpretation to further develop the typography or the content (or their relation). This is an open prompt — you can interpret the strategy in many ways, at the level of form, content, production process, etc. Find your idea and run with it.

After you’ve interpreted and executed the oblique strategy and produced a new typographic composition, pick another card from the deck and do it again; apply the new strategy to the iterated composition.

Do this again: so you have three new compositions which successively build on each other, beginning from one of your photoshop compositions.
